Montgomery Super -- No-Hits Oklahoma
Monday, April 3rd, 2023
Curt Montgomery was pretty calm about his no-hitter -- until the last three outs. "You really become conscious of every pitch then. The adrenaline level kicks up even higher. And everybody in the ballpark knows a no-hitter is on the line. The crowd is on its feet. One mistake and it's all over."
But on this day at Haymarket Park Montgomery of the Nebraska Cornhuskers was in complete command, not allowing the Oklahoma Sooners a single base hit in the 2-0 victory.
"Obviously, you never think this will happen," he said. "I don't know if it's really sunk in yet." Montgomery faced 29 batters, had 13 strikeouts and 1 walk in a dominating effort. "To do this you have to have a good defense behind you, too."
"He was on from the get-go," one of the Sooners said. "He throws quite a few pitches. He was hitting his spots and keeping us off balance. It was a great game by him."
